Binance Futures Launching TRX/USDT Perpetual Contract

On Tuesday (January 14), digital asset exchange Binance announced that its futures trading platform, Binance Futures, which went live in September 2019, is launching a new perpetual contract product — TRX/USDT — at 08:00 (UTC) on 15 January 2020.

According to Binance’s announcement, “to prevent market manipulation, Binance will implement a pricing limit of ±1% on the mark price within the first 30 minutes after trading starts.”

Also, it is worth keeping in mind that, as with the EOS/USDT perpetual contract, which was launched last Wednesday, “perpetual contracts on Binance Futures are similar to the trading pairs on the spot market,” and they are “priced and settled in the same manner.”

Binance Futures users will be able to choose between 1x and 75x leverage.

Here are the specifications for the contract:

Base Asset: TRX

Quote Asset: USDT

Settlement Asset: USDT

Contract Unit: 1 TRX

Minimum Granularity: 0.1 Contract Units

Maximum Contract Quantity: 1,000,000

Initial Margin Rate: 1.3% Base

Maintenance Margin Rate: 0.65% Base

Liquidation Fee: 0.5%

The other six perpetual contracts being offered by Binance Futures are BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, BCH/USDT, XRP/USDT, EOS/USDT, and LTC/USDT.

According to data from CryptoCompare, TRX-USDT is currently trading at $0.01589, up 9.13% in the past 24-hour period:
